Salomon XA Pro 3D V9 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes - Black - UK 10

Yes, these shoes feature a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, including rain and splashes.

Hand washing is recommended. Use lukewarm water and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the surface. Do not machine wash. Always air dry away from direct heat.

They are ideal for varied terrains and rocky trails, offering excellent stability and grip for unpredictable outdoor paths.

The Quicklace™ system is a minimalist, strong lace that allows for one-pull tightening and easy on/off. It provides a secure and customized fit quickly.

A single shoe weighs approximately 340g (for size 42 2/3), offering a balance of lightness and robust support.

While these are low-cut trail running shoes, the improved 3D chassis provides significant stability and foot support, helping to reduce the risk of ankle rolls on uneven terrain.

The Salomon XA Pro 3D has a heel-to-toe drop of 11mm, with a heel height of 31.5mm and a forefoot height of 20.5mm.

Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane has not been punctured or damaged. Check for any large tears or wear. Also, ensure water is not entering from the top of the shoe, for example, if water goes over the collar in deep puddles or heavy rain. Consider using gaiters in extreme wet conditions.

Ensure the lace stopper is fully engaged after tightening. Pull firmly on the lace to evenly distribute tension before securing the stopper. Check the lace pocket to ensure no debris is preventing the lace from moving freely.

Verify you have the correct shoe size and width. Experiment with different lacing tensions using the Quicklace system. Consider trying different types of running socks (e.g., moisture-wicking, thicker/thinner) to improve comfort and fit.

Regularly clean the outsole lugs to prevent mud and debris buildup, which can reduce traction. Inspect the lugs for signs of excessive wear, which indicates it might be time for replacement, especially if frequently used on abrasive surfaces.
